The Annupuri Woods
The architectural concept of the Upper Annupuri Project embodies a seamless blend of luxury and comfort, combining contemporary design with a hint of Japanese touch. The design approach of the building is aiming to take the full advantage of the incredible nature that surrounds it.
The architectural volume articulation adds a sense of depth and dimension to the design form, deliberately simple and bold, avoiding exaggeration and overly intrusive to the natural context. The strong emphasis on materials selection with the natural earthen palette allowing the buildings to weather gracefully over time, ensuring a timeless aesthetic that will withstand the test of time.
This building design is not just simple and bold; it is also sustainable. The choice of materials not only adds to the visual appeal but also contributes to the overall sustainability of the building. By using environmentally friendly materials, the design is both aesthetically pleasing and eco-friendly, taking a step towards a more sustainable and responsible future.
The internal layout is carefully planned to maximise interaction with the natural environment while ensuring privacy and an uninterrupted connection to the serene surroundings. Each residential unit features an outdoor balcony, establishing a more intimate connection between the residents and their immediate natural landscape in the surroundings.
The specifically placed windows and positioning of each unit limits the overlooking of neighbouring dwellings, allowing residents to fully enjoy the beauty of nature in peace and tranquility, it also brings an abundance of natural light into the internal space, creating an inviting and vibrant living space that residents can enjoy.
Overall, the design of the building incorporates elements that prioritize both functionality and aesthetics, creating an exceptional living experience that harmoniously merges the beauty of contemporary design, Japanese influences, and the splendid natural surroundings. With its seamless blend of luxury and comfort, sustainable features, and serene location, this building offers residents the opportunity to indulge in a truly extraordinary living experience.
